Do you love cheese?

If you do, you have to eat at Baud et Millet (website in french) in Bordeaux. Aston and I went there last night and it was amazing. The best meal we've eaten so far. It's a cheese and wine restaurant. Every dish on the menu features cheese, and for wine, you choose a bottle from the wall, where there's maybe a hundred on display. It was delicious although intensely cheesy and the service was really great, for a change. Paris certainly lives up to its rep for rudeness, and I speak French! We had a great last day in Paris. We went to Montmartre, and walked around, watching the artists work. Aston made a French friend on his plane over so we all met up and she drove us around Paris which was a great way to see some of the city. We went through a fancy part of town and saw the Ritz where Diana stayed and all the fancy stores, like Cartier, with a valet waiting to park your car. I really wanted to return to the Musée de l'Orangerie but it was closed for renovation. :(
In an hour, we are going for a 2 hour wine tasting lesson; they'll teach us how to properly taste wine and the lesson also includes cheese and choucroute (like ham slices- not for me of course). This morning we had breakfast in bed, so luxurious! This hotel is an older 3 star one, can't really recommend it as the bed is not very comfortable but lots of little extras make it nice. Tomorrow night is home to Narbonne....
